Alla auktioner / Böcker, Kartor och Texter / Typed Letter Signed to His Girlfriend Lois Sorrells in New York City
KEROUAC, Jack (1922-1969). Typed letter signed ("Jack") to Lois [Sorrells], n.p., n.d. [c.1960]. One page, 215 x 140mm, bifolium leaf. Custom folder and slipcase. "Maybe my mother is right when she says I'll end up with my ass in the straw." A sad letter from Kerouac to girlfriend Lois Sorrells in which he reflects, "I stay home now for a thousand years except to bring my mother to Radio City and Chinatown on her birthday Feb. 4th. And for world premiere of Subterraneans movie. My desk piled with long raving letters from kids with their snapshots ... Am sending a check for 40 to Allen [Ginsberg] to cover the long taxi fare, the food, bottles, taxis etc ... Maybe my mother is right when she says I’ll end up with my ass in the straw, which were better than taxes and death letters on desk. I used to say to my mother ‘I’m going to write now, I’ll be in the kitchen when I’m hungry’ but now all I say is ‘I’m going to write letters now’ ... O last night I dream’d a perfect page of prose, the ‘best of Eugene O’Neill’ it said in the dream, all about a freighter at dusk and men leaning on he gunwale smoking pipes. Like Coleridge, lost it ... call Tom Payne [at Avon Books] and tell him to pick up Tristessa, he wants it right away and everything [is] mixed up eightball [Avon would publish the book later in the spring]. I walked in the rain and even Dody [Muller, another girlfriend] wouldn’t let me in—and I heard you laugh gayly over the phone. But I am too old and wise and I’m safe for 1000 years.” Kerouac mentions starting to organize his incoming correspondence; he leaves the vast number of letter unanswered "but saved for future reference when I write about the disgraceful event of becoming "famous."
